The 54 graduates of Hospitality Management Course beam with pride as they gathered at the CDC Conference Hall on their graduation day here in Cadiz City.
Mayor Patrick Escalante, First Lady Marilou and SPM Denia Hinolan, together with trainers Lisa Inocencio, Jessica Escalante, Gino Nosal and Federico Flores, were very hopeful and enthusiastic the new graduates will find employment as all of them passed the one month training course with flying colors.
“Tomorrow, our HM graduates will display their skills in waitering, bartending, skirting and flower arrangement on their culmination day", trainer Inocencio said.
According to her, they were given recommendations by Mayor Escalante because they have adeptly displayed the skills and learned by heart the lessons given.
One HM graduate Chris Mark Quijano, expressed in an interview that he was very excited and grateful for the free course that the city government has opened for people like him. He said he is definite this would pave way for a better life as soon as he finds job.
The one-month course was extended to interested Cadiznon youth for free under Project LOU, the livelihood for the underserved. The program has proven its sustainability after it was introduced some two years ago with the vision of uplifting the lives of the underprivileged, especially high school graduates who did not have the logistics to proceed to a regular course in school./*
